| Summary | "Phroso: A Romance" by Anthony Hope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Lord Charley Wheatley, who has purchased the remote island of Neopalia, seeking solace away from the crowded world. However, upon arrival, he finds himself facing unexpected hostility from the island's inhabitants, as well as entanglements with a mysterious family connection involving the lady Euphrosyne and her cousin Constantine Stefanopoulos. The opening of the book establishes Charley as a man discontented with modern society, driven by the dream of an idyllic life on an isolated island. As he prepares for his arrival, he is warned of the resistance from locals who feel possessive over their home, culminating in a tense reception upon landing. Charley and his companion Denny quickly find themselves in a precarious situation as they grapple with thwarted expectations and the realities of island life, setting the stage for conflict sparked by betrayal, loyalty, and unanticipated romance. The presence of Euphrosyne introduces further intrigue, hinting at deeper familial and political stakes intertwined with Charley's venture. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
